You are right, people aren't in a position to walk away from jobs nowadays and what he is proposing is to leave people who harass in the workplace. For what, to let them do it again to another employee? That doesn't seem good for employees or employers or for business in general. Does this guy even think about what he says? I think not.

He just wants to be the poster boy for "government is bad," when he doesn't even understand government....and how long has he worked for the government? If "government is bad" why didn't he choose to find a new employer rather than work there for all of those years?
